BUS384 Global Business Project Management (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Management (MANAG)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
Global Business Project Management deals with the effective and efficient design and management of business projects in a global setting. It examines the material from three (3) separate but related contexts, these being:
a) strategic or ‘hard’ skills, such as planning, scheduling and controlling to effectively coordinate business projects
b) managerial or ‘soft’ skills, such as communication, understanding of cultural differences and team building
C) practical or ‘informal’ project management techniques including networking, influencing and improvisation
The subject establishes a framework of good practices on global project management essential for the success of global projects and programs.
